wiio compares the well-supplied' table

daily life' with those of earlier years.
Tropical and subtropical fruits are now
the ordinary accompaniment's of the
table and in the hands and mouths of
the very urchins upon the streets.
Sugar and coffee and tea and cacao,
which by earlier generations were con
sidered luxuries, are now necessaries of
daily life everywhere. The average con
sumption of sugar, which in the year
3S70 was thirty-three pounds per capita,
w;as in 11)01 sixty-eight pounds . per
capita; and the quantity of coffee con
sumed has increased from six pounds
per capita per -annum in 1870 to nearly
twelve pounds per capita In l'JOl; that
of, cucu.0 Is six times as great per capita
as lit. l.70-;';;h(le that of tea is still as
Kreat per capita as in 1S70, despite the
great Increase In the use of coffee and
cacao. Silks ami satins, which were
luxuries only a generation or two ago,
are now considered a necessary part of
the wardrobe of a large share of the
population. India-rubber, which a gen
eration ago was almost unknown, is
now ut Hissed, everywhere, for clothing,
for household requirements, for ma
chinery, and even for the tires of our
carriages.
"The great railway lines, having made

that the olllelal should he "culled

course, the man In the edltorlnl loft
always has better kuowfedgc of the con
dition of things than the man on the
ground thousands or miles away, and
this only furnishes' tt fresh. Instance of
the.desperutlon of the Democratic preHs
In Its efforts to find new subjects upon
which criticism of the administration
may be bused. ' '
Havana's Redemption.
STItlKINO as well as gratlfy
' lug contrast Is presented In
4 - the report of Mn.or doergas,
chief sanitary nllleer for the
federal military administration of Hav
ana for last April, when the document
Is compared with sanitary conditions
existing In 1S0S, Just prior to American
occupation. The city which was re
garded as a gigantic pest house by san
itarians, has within four years been
redeemed In spite of tho lack of many
facilities which are considered neces
sary to perfect sunltatlon. Malignant
diseases which have for centuries raged
at certain seasons unrestricted have
been banished, and the death rate has
been reduced to a purity with that of
the most carefully protected cities of
the north. Instead of being shunned
as a location of danger, the city of
Havana Is already gaining the admira
tion of tourists as a winter refuge for
Invalids from the chilly North, and will
undoubtedly In the near future be the
mccca of hosts of well-to-do people of
the states who seek pleasure and re
newed health under tropical skies.
No more noble and splendid national
enterprise Is upon record thnn that
which followed the release (of. Cuba
with an 'administration that has trans
formed this centre of pestilence Into n
city of health and happiness. Only the
readers who have followed closely the
administration of Governor General
Wood have any Idea of the labor and
patience required to educate the pupils
of Spanish carelessness and filth to
ways of cleanliness. The indolence of
the residents of the city who had been
so long allowed to, wallow In their own
dirt naturally rebelled against conform
ing with laws of sanitation and stern
measures were necessary in many cases
to bring about a state of cleanliness
conducive to good health. Yellow fe7
ver, small-pox and malaria had been
familiar diseases for so many genera
tions that the populace had cpme to
accept them as Infliction inseparable
with existence In the community. In
terference with their progress was re
garded as a fight against fate, and the
medical corps received little encourage
ment' even from the more enlightened
natives in their battle against unsani
tary conditions. Hut in due time
American energy and skill triumphed,
avid the tireless workers of Havana
have been vindicated by conditions that
are beyond the hopes of the most san
guine laborer In the welfare of the city.
An evidence of the radical change
that has been made is given In the fig
ures presented by the chief sanitary
officer hi his report:: The deaths in
3S9S numbered '11. 252 a rate of 91.51! per
1,000. In 1S0 the fatalities were !,153,
a rate of 3:1.67; in 1900, 6,102, a rate of
24.40; In 1901, 5,720, a rate ot' 22.11. Dur
ing the first four months of 1902 there
were 1.S96 deuths, or at the rate of
20.(18 per 1,000 an average lower than
In a majority of American cities. There
has been no case of siunll-pox In Hav
ana since July, 1900; none of yellow
fever since September, 1901. The war
of the medical corps against mosqui
toes began In February, 1901, and It Is
sfill prosecuted with unabated vigor.
Destroying the' Insects has not only
stamped out yellow fever but also
greatly decreased malaria. During the
twelvc-iuonth prior to the beglnulng'of
the nutl-mosquito crusade there were
344 deaths' in the city from malaria;
last year this disease claimed 151 vic
tims: while for the first four months'
of t!)02 the deaths froih malaria num
bered 2ti.
It Is lo be regretted that William
Jennings Uryan haw predicted civil war
fur Cuba. One would think that the
Island hud had trouble enough without
the efforts of the alarmist to cause
fresh anxiety. Mr. liryun should con
line Uls prophecies to the United States.
We are used to them. .
The Currency Reform Outlook.
(l-'roin the Cuminercliil- Advertiser.)
IT IS nearly three. months now since
Jteprcseiitatlvo Fowler,-of Nuw
Jersey, Introduced his bljl for cur
rency reform Into congress, and
the Republican majority In ,thc house
have only Just been persuaded to name
June 9 us u time for the (list foripal
discussion of the subject in caucus. The
active promoters of. the-measuro pro
fess no discouragement .over, the delay,
saying that It Is advisable to have a
fairly long period In ( which to conduct
a campaign of education. Tlils, no fur
us It goes, Is avery snslble( view to
take. The nee'd of' certain fundamental
changes In our bunking, and currency
system Is universally recognized, and
us u rule peoplo uro ready to admit
that It Is better to make them now
than to wait until tho times aru not so
good. Yet despite ull this the amount
of publlo Interest uroused over tho fate
of the Fowler bill has been remarkably
small. There has been a more or less
perfunctory discussion' of Us details In
the press and In bunking circles, the
upshot of which Is that something
ought tu be done find that tho present
measure iiieuus well, whether or not it
would accomplish the ends desired, Hut
we cmnut help feeling that tho Indif
ferent apd procrastinating policy shown
In the treatment of the matter by con
gress ycry fairly rellccts the general
attitude of the public.
Is this it display of pure Inertia, or
dues t simply Imply that tho real
nature and significance of the proposed
changes lire not clearly understood?
Probably there is a good deal of truth
In both Interpretations, and In addition
It seems cquully cleur tbut the grcut
majority of tho older cslnbllnhrd bank
ing Institutions cannot bring them
selves to seriously consider Innovations
which seem to them revolutionary In
character. The provisions for the Inter-'
changeability of gold iilid silver, for
limiting the Issues of silver certificates
to denominations ot live dollars and lens
and of bunk notes lo ten dollars and
upward and for authorlstlug the deposit
of all public money over -fSO.OCo.oCO In
the banks subject to 1 per cent. Inter
est, are the least radical recommenda
tions of the Fowler bill, runt on this
account they meet with tho largest de
gree of npprovnt. Hut It must be n
matter of doubt whether the more
fundamental changes suggested, such
as' the redemption of the greenback
Issue, the establishment of nn "asset"
currency and the Introduction of an ex
tensive system or branch bunks, will
find suillclent support tit this juncture
to become part or the national banking
statutes. Whut always has seemed to
us one or the weakest points In the
present measure Is Its assumption that
the $130,000,000 ot outstanding treasury
notes would be redeemed at once ir the
banks were allowed to expand their
note issue, free from bond security, to
a similar amount. Such a proposition
would doubtless be acceptable to many
of the small country hanks, but the
larger city institutions would naturally
reason that what they stand to gain
through addition to their lendnble re
sources they stand to lose by perma
nently lower Interest rates.
The Fowler bill, as a plan for correct
ing at one stroke nil or nearly ull the
main defects In our banking and cur
rency system, probably Is as worthy as
any similar proposals that have hitherto
been made. Much prulse, moreover, Is
due the frumer of the measure for the
earnestness and diligence ho has shown
In trying to enlighten an exceedingly
difficult subject In the public mind. Hut
we very greatly question whether adop
tion of a scheme of reform on any
thing like the comprehensive lines Mr.
Fowler has mapped out will bo adopted
by congress. Even If there was a
powerful pressure of publiq sentiment
behind the bill, which there Is not, the
conservatism of the greater portion of
the banking community, which is per
fectly satlsllcd with present conditions,
would be an extremely difficult obstacle
to overcome. Very likely some of the
Individual proposals will be accepted
and will pass into law. Hut the sug
gested changes as a whole arc entirely
too radical to be worked out In any
other way than by a slow process of
evolution.
President Palma Is making good use
of his American experience. He has
already advised ,the Cubans not to con
fine their labors solely to tho cultivation
of sugar, but to engage in other in
dustries which may be easily developed.
Diversified crops, cattle raising anc!
other enterprises which may be engaged
In with profit upon the fertile Island
will do much toward securing pros

demand for a fifty per cent, advance.
The walking delegate seems to huve
been almost as nctlve as the profes

The manner in which Mr. Land's
amendment, prohibiting the sale of In
toxicants In the capltol at Washington,
went through shows that tho thirst of
the house is not as acute as some of
the speeches uttered there would lead
us to suppose.
Democratic newspapers appear to ho
unanimous in the Idea that General
Chaffee's disapproval ot the findings In
the Waller, court-martial will make a
prize campaign document for the un
terrlfled. An exchange thinks that peace negoti
ations that leave the Hoers In posses
sion of their llrearms will bo Ineffect

PRESIDENT AND HIS GUARDS.
From tho Washington Post,
"Secretary Cortelyou and the secret ser.

Americans, with their familiarity with
billion-dollar corporations mut scores of
multl-tnllllotiulrt-s, unhesitatingly class
the t'nltcd States iih the wealthiest of
nations. According to the London Dally
.Mull year-book, this popular opinion Is
well founded. It Is estimated that the
wealth of this country Is equal to tho
combined riches of Franco and Germany,
nearly three times that of Russia and
about twenty-two billion dollars more
than the wealth of Great llrltuln. Tho
national wealth of tho several nations,
according to this authority, Is as follows:
The t'nltcd' States JH!,(S40.000,000

"In machine shops and factories the use
of the best machinery Is understood and
appreciated by the men,. but the success
of the American manufacturer would ap
pear to he owing not to the machinery,
but to tho system of shop mamigement.
Kvcry man appears to bo fully nware
that success depends upon his doing his
best work, uml no Idleness Is tolerated in
anyone. The highest positions In a shop
are open to anyone who can prove his
worth, and every man works with this in
centive. "Many visitors from tho United King
dom blame tho men there because tho
same results aro not obtained from ma
chinery as Is done here, hut tho more the
factories are seen, the more' certain it
becomes that it is tho incentive to work
and jho energy of the managers, super
intendents and foremen, and the example
set by them that has tho wonderful ef
fect on the output. This holds good In
every kind of trade and business. In one
factory, the manager, in six months,
doubled the output at an increase of 5
per cent, expense by rearranging the
machinery." British Consul AVydhum, of
Chicago.
Kansas farmers have made systematic
arrangements for the Importation of 20,000
men, 1,000 women and 3,000 teams to reap
this year's crop. Last year Kansas paid
out half a million dollars for this extra
help, but tho result was a crop of 90,000
000 bushels.

Treasury Secretary Shaw said at Pitts
burg: ".Vot as the crow files, but as ships
sail, It is nearer from Liverpool to San
Francisco via Capo Horn than from Now
York to the same port via thu southern

Start two ships ot canal speed from
Liverpool, going to our Paclllu const, one
through tlio Suez canal and the other by
Capo Horn, and two vessels of the sumo
speed from New York, ono going west

1-higllsh vessels will reach San Francisco

"Wo are to have, gentlemeii wo must

tinued, "and these carilers of interna

Imun material, hi American yards, by
American labor, they aru to bo manned
by American snllors, Hied by American
coal, or morn piobably nil, and they uro

this will bo accomplished through govern

American capital and American energy,
I cannot say, Whether this consumma

or nchluved by financiers Is Immaterial
rompared with tho Importance of tho

"American wealth, American energy,
plus Hawaii, which Is ours, plus thu Phil
